Pending Friend Request

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

I want people in my app to be friends. 

The problem is that I can't figure out a way to display a pending request for all records where a friend request has already been sent by the existing record.

I've created a search filter that searches airtable and shows a list of all the contacts with the correct first and last name.

I then added an action:remote tag to the button within the same container.

This means that when the submit button is hit a friend request is generated and posted to a second table.

This is the problem. Because it seems that bravo won't allow me to reference another table within a container that is already referencing another container.

How do I show a pending request? Or how have you solved this problem.

Possible! But realy hard complex logic on the back-end side.

ok so my logic for bravo is correct. The solution then seems to lie in automation within airtable at least there's some direction there.

Cant understand what you mean! But can tell you that you have to build a loginc on airtable that is compatible with bravo tools. From my experience, guess you will ned arround 50h to 60h of work to make it 100% bulletproof. If you know what you are doing. If not, it could take you an eternity because itviscrealy complex.
